In this segment, I start out by providing a history of hormone discovery and using hormones as treatment. Dr. Grider gives us a basic explanation of what menopause is, including typical patient presentations, symptoms, and the relationship to fluctuating reproductive hormone levels. And Dr. Wood tells us what to expect with peri-menopausal psychosis patients and reviews some of the consistencies in their presentations. It's interesting to note that Dr. Grider has very little experience with menopausal psychosis, while typically Dr. Wood has less experience with milder presentations of menopausal depression. Based on the severity of the patient's symptoms (and possibly a lack of making a connection between hormones and psychosis), there's almost a type of natural selection AWAY FROM the psychiatric and OB/GYN provider crossing paths or both being involved with the same cases.
